WJPA Sports

Big school football takes the spotlight tonight on the WJPA Sports Network. Our radio games highlight the 5A Allegheny Six matchups for Trinity and Peters Township. The Hillers host West Allegheny, both trying to keep control of their own playoff destiny. That game airs on WJPA-FM (95.3). Peters Township crosses the border into Allegheny County, the defending WPIAL champions taking on Bethel Park on WJPA-AM (1450).  Canon-McMillan gets their regular-season look at the juggernaut that is Central Catholic. We’ll have coverage on wjpa.com.  All three games will be available on the WJPA Sports Network. Pregame coverage starts at 6:30 pm with kickoff at 7. Watch/Listen Here!

Ringgold, just two years removed from a 20+ game losing streak, heads to Chartiers Valley with a chance to lock up a 4A playoff berth. Waynesburg has its post-season invite in hand but the Raiders get a good measure, hosting Interstate co-leader Belle Vernon. Waynesburg is still alive for a share of the title. Chartiers-Houston hosts Bishop Canevin, the Bucs trying to stay within one game of first place in the 2A Century. McGuffey, who snapped a 20-game losing streak in Week 1, hosts Carlynton. A Highlanders’ win would be their 5th of the season, almost certainly enough to get at least a wild card invitation. Wash High and Fort Cherry have tune-up games one week ahead of their expected Black Hills championship showdown. Bentworth hosts Monessen, the Bearcats trying to stay in control of their playoff path. Avella is just one game back of Tri-County South co-leaders Beth-Center and California. Having lost earlier this year to B-C, the Eagles host California. Beth-Center and California meet in Fredericktown next week, to decide the conference title, barring an Avella upset. Burgettstown celebrates homecoming Saturday against Serra Catholic, a week ahead of hosting a playoff qualifier at Hill Memorial Stadium.
